Spreader Calibration
The spreader should be calibrated each time a new
material is used. The spread width ranges from
0.9-7.6 m (3-25 ft) and depends on the material
particle size, volume/density, and rate of travel.
Refer to the spreading charts along with
the Distribution Pattern (page
Effective Spreading Width (page
the Application Rate (page 29)
the machine.
Determining the Distribution
Pattern
Operator supplied equipment: 15 shallow collection
pans and 15 graduated measuring cylinders
The most accurate method to measure the distribution
is to use shallow collection pans and graduated
measuring cylinders. In the example below, 15
shallow collection pans approximately 30 cm (12
inches) wide, 91 cm (36 inches) long, and 5 cm (2
inches) tall are used.
1.
Make sure to allow ample driving distance before
setting up the pans to ensure the machine is
